President Trump just got some great news as the Supreme Court, with Brett Kavanaugh casting the deciding vote, just ended the liberal 9th circuit court\u2019s reign of terror.
\nTrump has complained about the runaway court as it has bloked many of Trump\u2019s actions in the executive branch.
\nThe court went along partisan lines and came back with a 5-4 decision and a big victory for Trump.
\nThe 5-4 decision reversed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier ruling. Thankfully, Trump\u2019s historic win and realignment of the courts is restoring sanity to America.
\nThe Court sided with Trump and ruled that the U.S. government can detain immigrants with past criminal records without bond (for as long as needed) as they await deportation.
\nThe four judges who opposed the ruling did so vehemently which goes to show what was at stake in America with the 2016 election. It is common sense to hold a criminal who is not a citizen, especially one who was violent, in custody before we deport them. Thankfully, America made a wise choice in Trump.
\nFrom CNN: The Supreme Court held on Tuesday that the government can detain \u2014 without a bond hearing \u2014 immigrants with past criminal records, even if years have passed since they were released from criminal custody.
\nThe case centered on whether detention without a bond hearing must occur promptly upon an immigrant\u2019s release from criminal custody or whether it can happen months or even years later when the individual has resettled into society. The statute says simply that the detention can occur \u201cwhen the alien is released\u201d from custody.
\nThe court voted 5-4 in favor of the government.
\nIn his opinion for the court, Justice Samuel Alito said that the immigrants in the case had argued they were \u201cowed bond hearings\u201d in order to argue for their release. Alito said that the law did not support their argument.
\nJustice Brett Kavanaugh wrote separately to say that the ruling was based entirely on the language of the statute at hand. He said it would be \u201codd\u201d to interpret the statute as mandating the detention of certain \u201cnon citizens\u201d who posed a serious risk of danger of flight, but \u201cnonetheless\u201d allow them to remain free during their removal proceedings if the executive branch failed \u201cto immediately detain them upon their release from criminal custody.\u201d
\n\u201cThe court correctly holds that the Executive Branch\u2019s detention of the particular non citizens here remained mandatory even though the Executive Branch did not immediately detain them.\u201d
\nFrom Reuters:
\nThe court ruled 5-4, with its conservative justices in the majority and its liberal justices dissenting, that federal authorities could pick up such immigrants and place them into indefinite detention anytime, not just immediately after they finish their prison sentences.
\nThe ruling, authored by conservative Justice Samuel Alito, left open the possibility of individual immigrants challenging the 1996 federal law involved in the case, called the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, on constitutional grounds \u2013 their right to due process \u2013 if they are detained long after they have completed their sentences.
\nThe law at issue states that the government can detain convicted immigrants \u201cwhen the alien is released\u201d from criminal detention. Civil rights lawyers for two groups of plaintiffs argued that the language of the law shows that it applies only immediately after immigrants are released. The Trump administration said the government should have the power to detain such immigrants anytime.
\nIt is not the court\u2019s job, Alito wrote, to impose a time limit for when immigrants can be detained after serving a prison sentence. Alito noted that the court repeatedly has said in the past that \u201can official\u2019s crucial duties are better carried out late than never.\u201d
\nAlito said the challengers\u2019 assertion that immigrants had to be detained within 24 hours of ending a prison sentence is \u201cespecially hard to swallow.\u201d
\nIn dissent, liberal Justice Stephen Breyer questioned whether the U.S. Congress when it wrote the law \u201cmeant to allow the government to apprehend persons years after their release from prison and hold them indefinitely without a bail hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n
